Chocolate icing

Ingredients:
1/4 cup melted butter (not margarine)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
3 cups confectioners sugar

Gather the ingredients needed. You will also need a large mixing bowl, a beater and a spatula.

In the large bowl, combine the butter and cocoa powder. For a better consistency, do not use margarine in place of butter. Beat these ingredients on a medium speed until mixed thoroughly.

Next, add in the milk, vanilla extract and salt. Beat at medium speed until smooth.

Gradually add in the confectioners sugar, continuing to beat a medium speed until the icing is smooth and creamy. For a thinner icing, add 1/2 teaspoon of milk while beating.
